When we were helping my parents move earlier this year we found the desktop encyclopedia that came with my original copy of the game!
This would have been relevant 30 years ago. What’s next, a Furby game?
They’ve released 22 video games over the last 40 years, they may have slowed a little in recent decades but they never really stop.
This must be how normies feel about Weird Al every time he releases a new album. Everytime he does, I see headlimes like “Weird Al is back!” like it’s some kind of nostolgia tour.
Meanwhile I’m like “Uhhhhh…he never left. He can’t release an album every month…”. But if Green Day release a new album every 6 years, the headline is always “Green Days new album shows they still got it.”
Even though I think Weird Al has TONS more range than most bands that have been around 30+ years. Unironically, Weird Al may be one of the greatest musicians ever, but always gets treated like he’s been dormant since the 80s.
And I guess thats how I viewed the Carmen Sandiago series. I haven’t heard a peep out of them since the mid 90s when they had that late afternoon game show where players use clues to figure out where in the world, and later where in time, is Carmen Sandiago. But I guess I’m wrong. 22 games in 40 years is more than most series. Thats like Mario levels of game releases if you ignore the side projects.
Gameloft? I’ll wait to see what the reviews on Steam say.
Who in the world asked for Carmen Sandiego
@ngwoo, I really enjoyed the old text-based ones when I was younger. I played the original Where in the World and I think so the Where in Time. But those were early gaming days and I was younger too.
So I’m curious, but not too excited.
I played those too, as well as Math Detective! I loved them, but they were the only games we had (parents wanted us to exclusively play educational games).
Any game that’s concurrently released with a Netflix release is probably something you should be skeptical of.
